Hello,

I get Geodatabase Error (-2147024894): The system cannot find the file specified. Could not open File Geodatabase dataset `\\\\coacd.org\\dfs\\PDRD\\IT_Services\\GIS_Group\\Programs\\Zoning\\test.gdb' for writing when using FME Server. This works on my desktop.

I've checked on permissions, and was told I have modify privileges. I tested that by writing a shapefile to the Zoning folder and that worked. As you can see I am also using the UNC path. I've also played with both the arcobjects and API writers. I have a sample workbench that I am testing. I would appreciate anyone looking at that or giving me some clues on this issue. Thanks!

Which user is your FME Server Engines service running as? If it's running as Local System, you cannot access network resources and you'll have to configure it to run as a domain user.

See here for more information: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Running_FME_Server_Engines_Under_Different_Account.htm

Thanks for your response.

It is running as a user of the FME server, not my local account, if that is what you mean.

What I'm meaning is that the service called "FME Server Engines" won't be able to access network resources if it runs as "Local System", like this:

If you need FME Server to access network resources, you'll have to reconfigure the Engine service to run as a domain user with specific right on that network share, as in the link I posted below.

Are you using a 64 bit FME server?

In that case it would require the 64 bit ESRI geoprocessing DLL's on the server to be installed.
